Women in Tulagi in the Central Islands Province say they are happy to see their new hospital completed.

Spokeswoman Anne Samora shared their profound gratitude to Island Sun during the handover of the newly renovated Tulagi Hospital last week in Tulagi.

“In terms of the New Hospital, we are really happy, we thank God, the Ministry of Health who worked with the province to build this hospital for our people here at Ngella and Savo Russell,” said Samora.

“It will help us especially when a member of our is sick, especially our children, we will come to the hospital which is now closer to us rather than going to Honiara which is too far,” she said.

She said that some of the challenges they faced before the hospital was renovated to its current state was travelling to Honiara which was costly for them when their children were sick or when the mothers got pregnant.

She also recalled that sometimes old people lose their lives and sometimes recover.

“So now since we have a good hospital, we will have doctors and more nurses to attend to our issues, operations will be done here, good news for us the women,” she said.

“It cost us a lot of money to travel to Honiara, especially for us at the grassroots level where we did not receive income every day but depended on market and gardening,” said Samora.
